How to execute cURL URL from PHP

Question

I'm trying to call a URL from PHP via cURL, but no response from server.

Following is my URL:

$url = 'https://id:[email protected]/oauth/token \ -X POST \ -d "grant_type=client_credentials&scope=manage_project:test"';

Curl code:

$auth = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($auth, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($auth, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($auth, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($auth);
curl_close($auth);
print_r($response);

When I execute the same URL in terminal get response from server. What's wrong in cURL code?

The URL does not look right = seems to be the command line options to curl — Ed Heal

Check the Curl Snippet

 $auth = curl_init("https://id:[email protected]/oauth/token");
    curl_setopt($auth, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($auth, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
    curl_setopt($auth, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($auth,CURLOPT_POST, 2);
    curl_setopt($auth,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "grant_type=client_credentials&scope=manage_project:test");
    $response = curl_exec($auth);
    curl_close($auth);
    print_r($response);

provide the correct credentials in order for the authentication to be successful

Using the documentation - this should work. Note the correct URL and passing the post parameters correctly

$auth = curl_init("https://auth.sphere.io/oauth/token");
curl_setopt($auth, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($auth, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($auth, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($auth,CURLOPT_POST, 2);
curl_setopt($auth,CURLOPT_USERPWD, "id:secret");
curl_setopt($auth,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "grant_type=client_credentials&scope=manage_project:test");
$response = curl_exec($auth);
curl_close($auth);
print_r($response);

Tried. Getting Missing required parameter: grant_type error.

Ed Heal Over a year ago

Is that a response from the server?

Gowri Over a year ago

{"statusCode":400,"message":"Missing required parameter: grant_type.","errors":[{"code":"invalid_request","message":"Missing required parameter: grant_type."}],"error":"invalid_request","error_description":"Missing required parameter: grant_type."}

@Ed Heal - modifying your code following should work

$auth = curl_init("https://auth.sphere.io/oauth/token");
curl_setopt($auth, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($auth, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($auth, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($auth,CURLOPT_POST, 2);
curl_setopt($auth,CURLOPT_USERPWD, "id:secret");
curl_setopt($auth,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "grant_type=client_credentials&scope=manage_project:test");
$response = curl_exec($auth);
curl_close($auth);
print_r($response);

$ch is problem as curl is initialize with $auth
